Abstract: The method of the present invention achieves a reduction
in scale formation in process lines and collection tanks following
a regeneration tank in the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process
system. The method achieves a reduction in scale formation by the

gypsum, as well as calcium chloride from the system. Removal
occurs by one or more of the following which achieve a removal of
sulfates from the system: 1) crystallizing gypsum in an overflow
tank located after a regeneration tank by providing seed crystals;
2) producing and crystallizing gypsum from a post regeneration tank
liquor line while at the same time producing MgCl 2 ; and 3)
producing and crystallizing gypsum from the system return line
while at the same time producing MgCl 2 .

Abstract: A method and system for verifying the intended imaging produced by a printer allow this task to be accomplished in essentially real-time, and utilizing relatively inexpensive, and high speed (e.g. about 200 feet per minute or greater) components. A computer control commands a raster image processor (RIP) to generate electronic print data (e.g. a bitmap) that is sent to an electronic digital printer (such as an inkjet cartridge array) and also to a print monitor. The printer images the bitmap onto a web or sheet, then a linear digital photosensor (e.g. photodiode) array scans essentially every pixel across the width of the web or sheet image area and transmits the scanned data to the print monitor system, which compares it to the bitmap produced by the RIP. If there is some discrepancy (of any sort), a message is generated which is ultimately transmitted back to the computer control where it may be used to log bad business forms being produced, generate human recognizable indicia (such as a warning light or sound), or shut down the system components. A second linear photodiode array may be provided before the printer and the data from it sent to the print monitor system to be combined with the electronic bitmap and compared to the data from the first sensor to determine whether there is any deficiency.

Abstract: A tagging device comprises a strap attached to a housing. A latch plate is mounted on a first length of strap and a collar is slidably mounted on a second length of strap. The latch plate has two location pegs which fit into holes on the first length of strap such that a hole fits over the lug to make the strap the correct size for a user. Two flexible barbs are formed on the collar such that the collar slides over the plate and the barbs are deformed as they slide up slopes on the plate. As the barbs slide off the end of the slopes they return to their rest position and snap into slots. Moving the collar in relation to the plate once the barbs have snapped into place in the slots causes the barbs to break, giving an indication of tampering.
